January 16, 201511 yr I was listening to someone from the SNP try to answer the very same question when it was put to him on Radio 4 yesterday. You would have loved hearing him squirm! I probably would. Had the referendum gone the other way, I think I'd have been using the WWays classic word 'schadenfreude' by now!

August 1, 201511 yr I see Sturgeon wants another vote by 2020 and is saying that David Cameron can't stop it
August 1, 201511 yr I see Sturgeon wants another vote by 2020 and is saying that David Cameron can't stop itoil price may have recovered by then Anything before is pointless and they'd be shitting it
August 1, 201511 yr Author I see Sturgeon wants another vote by 2020 and is saying that David Cameron can't stop it Cheerio then
October 13, 20169 yr I think we are better as a union but at the end of the day you can't force the issue, of they want to leave then let them go.
October 13, 20169 yr One SNP type was saying on Radio 5 this morning that the Brexit vote had thrown a massive spanner in the works for Scottish independence. Not as big a spanner as the No vote in their referendum the presenter pointed out????
October 13, 20169 yr The decision to go for another vote smacks of desperation. I can't think of a worse time to suggest that they go it alone. Unravelling ourselves out of the EU will be difficult enough let alone the Scots wriggling free of the UK and all the problems that entails.
October 13, 20169 yr I see Sturgeon is wanting to go for another IndyRef - 3 years after the last one - reminds me of this scene from Bill & Ted: Edited October 13, 20169 yr by superbobby

Unravelling ourselves out of the EU will be difficult enough let alone the Scots wriggling free of the UK and all the problems that entails. Potentially worse than the UK leaving the EU What with all the assets to be split out, shared currency & debt Be a right mess
October 14, 20169 yr Potentially worse than the UK leaving the EU What with all the assets to be split out, shared currency & debt Be a right mess For a country largly dependent on oil revenues i don't see how they can operate when brent crude oil is @ $53 a barrel. One commentator said that if they had left at the last vote they would now have had the highest national debt per capita of any European country, i wonder how Jimmy Krankie can spin that stat into a positive one? They would be bonkers to leave the UK now
October 14, 20169 yr Surely they cant just keep on until they win? Its like having a penalty in the 94th minute and the ref keep letting you retake it until you score then blowing the final whistle.
October 14, 20169 yr Surely they cant just keep on until they win? Its like having a penalty in the 94th minute and the ref keep letting you retake it until you score then blowing the final whistle. If they get their way and go on to lose that will be it for a generation for sure. Once we are out of the EU it will be even harder to break away and remain in the EU. Tusk and his cronies will ignore Scotland's pleas to remain on the EU too should they leave the UK. They are between a rock and a hard place and i can't see them winning
October 14, 20169 yr Let's be honest, Sturgeon knows if she held a vote, they would lose. She has not intention of having another referendum in the near future. All she said yesterday was that an "Independence Referendum Bill" would be published for consultation next week.........................it means nothing, no date for a ballot will be set, it doesn't even mean a second referendum will definitely happen. She's just playing to the "core" support of her party

They would be bonkers to leave the UK nowAll common sense pal but when did that have a place in a referendum As we know a large proportion that are eligible to vote will do so for some bizzare reason either way without having a good look at the facts and formulating a reasoned position It would be a complete car crash if the Scott's voted to leave, for many of the reasons you have given but the blowback would heap even more pain on us as we are so interconnected Edited October 14, 20169 yr by birch-chorley

October 14, 20169 yr We should have encouraged them to go last time around. We subsidise 5.295 million of them via Barnett to the tune of £1630 per person per year = £8.63 billion. Only 1.4 million of em voted for Krankies party at the last election yet she pontificates as though "she" is the leader of the UK.
October 14, 20169 yr how much would introducing border controls cost remember, scotland wouldnt care so its all on the remaining uk
October 14, 20169 yr how much would introducing border controls cost remember, scotland wouldnt care so its all on the remaining uk Nice to think some of that 8.63 billion could be used to employ border control staff in the North of England.
October 14, 20169 yr to be honest, it would make it a bit easier for these Eastern Europeans to come across and do the fruit picking, they could fly into Scotland without question, and then just walk across the border
